Black MacBook with white cables?

are you serious?

why is the apple on the back of the macbook white? why are the letters in the keys white? are you racist?

does it really matter?

i have a dream, that one day little white macbooks and little black macbooks will be treated equally and not be discriminating against by the color of their power power cords or remotes...

I disagree with you i think that it does matter - people buy a black macbook because of the look and style of the machine, when you accessorise it with components that just arent in keeping with that style it makes owning a black macbook pointless - they may as well have made them all white.

how does a white powercord detract from the look and style?

honestly i like the contrast, but the color of the powercord and remote are probably the last thing im concerned with regarding the look of this computer.


i mean is someone ever gonna say "god that computer is ugly because it has a white power cord" i mean really?


i think this post is just too funny, especially since last night a friend made a comment along the lines of "i think its funny that your computer is black and has a white powercord and mine (a dell) is white and has a black power cord"

i just can't believe either of you are serious

btw as my mother always said, its what's on the inside that counts

and really it make the blackbook pointless? if you care so much paint it black

Hasn't white always been the complimentary color to black anyway? I don't think I've ever heard... "Black and white don't go together". It is odd that people will complain about a white power cable... but not a giant glowing white apple on the lid. I love my BlackBook... the color of the power cable... well... I'm just not that anal.

well each to his own on issues of taste i guess, but ive seen a lot of complaints/requests from people concerning the black and white ipods, such as requests for a black dock as a black ipod would look better with it, therefore with that same reasoning a black macbook would complement black accessories better i guess

what else would the giant glowing apple be other that white? a glowing black apple?

so you want apple to make black headphones too for the black ipods too?

white has always been mac's colors, they offer black on selective products, but the base color system is white, they dont offer black headphones for black ipods because the white headphones are a signature of their product lines. similar reasoning to the powercord

if you really wanted your powercord and remote to match then you should have gotten the white macbook

and the issue with the glowing apple is to point out that contrast doesnt take away from overall appearance. white is the natural contrast to black, so it makes sense for certain things to be white. it makes no sense however for apple to produce an entirely separate line of powercords and remotes for the handful of people who dont like the contrast

er thats not what i said - but at the same time i dont see what the problem is with offering black ipod headphones.

Ive also never regarded the power chord as a signature of a mac product or considered white as traditional mac colour until the introduction of the imac.

Apple powerbooks used to be black and include black power cables, its just a simple matter of taste in the end - I dont understand why you are getting so worked up about it.

you serious man? you're quote their 80s models as an rebuttal? sorry, the recent motiff for apples has been white (their laptops/ipods/imacs)

yes there is nothing wrong with asking, i was more perplexed by your statement "it annoys me" basically with why something so random has enough of an emotional effect to "annoy you"

white headphones accompany all ipods because that was a signature aspect of their marketing (if you remember there were high incidents of people being robbed of their ipods because they were so noticable by the bright white headphones)

if you think the choice to include a white powercord was a deliberate aesthetic choice (and not a matter of cost-as it would cost more to have black accessories manufactured separately, hiking up the price even higher for the black macbook) why is it a bad thing that they chose contrasting colors for the powercord/remote.

basically to me this is such an asenine aspect to worry about that its ability to "annoy you" just perplexes me

ps. how do you change the color of the apple lightup thing on the top of the case? are you talking about just adding a clear color sticker to the top or is there a setting you can use to change it?

am i annoying you because i'm white too? like the powercord and remote

sorry just joking around here

although i'm interested in what you said about chaning the color of the apple light up display

Uh...maybe because they wouldn't have to stock two different parts? Or manufacture two colors? Or.....


do you get the idea that it comes down to $'s?
